As a first-time horse rider, this was a fun experience. I came to Vegas for my birthday and my partner gifted me with this event. Listen, a time was had! Wonderful instructors, and the horses are full of personality. They got this newbie feeling like a pro cowgirl—the horse-whisperer 🤠😂. The views are top tier…I felt so close to my American Indian ancestors, to nature, to the Universe. If you’re thinking about booking, do it!! Spots fill up fast! You’ll be glad you did.

Absolutely beautiful views, great staff, and sure-footed horses and mules. My only reason for not giving it a 5 star is because it wasn’t super organized. There were 27 other riders (not including staff) and so the single file line was super backed up and there was a lot of waiting for a several horses in the stack to move. And while I recognize they can’t control the horses and when they decide to take a little break or get distracted, if they had done smaller groups we wouldn’t be waiting around for 10 minutes at a time at the end of the line. Even if they split it into 2 groups and just did different trails simultaneously, they could still make their money and have the same staff-to-customer ratio for safety, while allowing for a smoother and more fun trial experience l

This was a great way to get out of Vegas and enjoy Earths characteristics. The horses were friendly, the ride was fun, our trail leaders were nice and easy to get along with. Great picture opportunity within the first 15 minutes of the trail ride. Would love to do it again.

Great for novice parent riders with experienced children riders. Wranglers were top notch! Definitely recommend.
Lizz_F, Apr 2026
Beautiful scenery, well broke horses and mules and great wranglers. Would 100% recommend this experience.
Ash_M, Apr 2026
This was an amazing experience! We had a small group and were promptly collected by Roy who drove us to the ranch. The horses and mules were well-taken care of and the wranglers were friendly and took good care of the animals. The trail ride itself was great- not just down a flat path but up and around a mountain- we even saw coyotes. My horse was just lovely and very sure footed over the rough terrain and very well behaved. I would definitely book this trip again next time I’m in Vegas.

Take a bottle of water and make sure you wear long trousers 👍. The ride is for new riders and experienced a very relaxed ride. Children are required helmets adults have a choice excellent photo opportunities
Maureen_H, Mar 2026
The whole experience was wonderful. The pick up from the strip was easy and well communicated. The driver, Roy, was so pleasant and informative about the area. The wranglers are the real deal! Tyree and Jim are the best!! They are knowledgeable, personable and funny but they also take everyone’s safety very, very seriously. The bathrooms were out of service but they have port-a-potty’s available. All around a really great experience!

It was AWESOME! I did this for my birthday and I enjoyed every minute. Mama was such a sweet girl and made my ride very smooth and comfy! Thank you so so much!
Haley_T, Mar 2026
There are a lot of options for horseback riding trails on viator (including breakfast, dinner, etc.) that I researched throughly, and I’m so happy I picked this one! Cowboy Trail Rides was an amazing experience for a solo traveler in Vegas! They truly take care of their horses and the guides are so friendly. If you get Tyree, he is especially funny! The views are breathtaking! It is an easy trail for a first time rider as well. I rode on the sweetest mule named Red. She was very gentle and calm, which eased any nerves I had. 10/10 experience and would do it again!
Amy_B, Mar 2026
Amazing trail ride in the desert! Cowboy Trail Rides takes care of it's horses, mules, and customers.
I loved it so much; I went twice during my last trip to Vegas!
I will make sure to plan a ride every time I am back in Las Vegas!
This experience is one of a kind with fabulous sunshine, blue sky, gorgeous scenery, and beautiful horses and mules working hard to bring you places you may never have been able to see!

Deborah_L, Feb 2026
It is very safe for first time rider. I’ve been riding a long time and took my friend who was very nervous about even being by a horse. She loved it, so did I. We will be going back!

Exceptional!! we had a great time, everything was right on point from pick up to drop off. We loved it and can’t say enough good things about the experience and exquisite surroundings.
Jamie_D, Dec 2025
Fantastic experience, the horses were so well behaved and the staff were accustomed to the horses and great at soothing anxieties. This was my first time on a horse and was the highlight of my trip to Las Vegas.
Jennifer_M, Dec 2025
Beautiful scenery. Good ride for kids. Well maintained facility. You are close enough to Red Rocks if you drive yourself to the ride to go for a hike.
Laurie_F, Nov 2025
Horses are well cared for and well trained as far as I could tell. The horses and mules while waiting to go out with us were eating alfalfa hay which is very nice hay. I asked if I could ride one of the mules and the wrangles were very accommodating. I really enjoyed riding a mule! I did find parts of the ride a bit nerve racking as I’m afraid of heights, but the guides were calming and my mule was so steady and safe. The views were amazing and something I will always remember, this experience was stunning and exhilarating at the same time. Great escape from the Las Vegas Strip. Highly recommend!

Great way to relax and enjoy the scenery away from the strip. Great guides, great trail ride, would recommend for those wanting to get away for a few hours. Bring your sunscreen
Jamie_K, Oct 2025
Fun experience. Staff are knowledgeable and horses appeared to be well taken care of. Nice relaxing ride in the canyon.
Megan_H, Oct 2025
Absolutely beautiful experience. The scenery was unbelievable and it was a wonderful adventure! I would do this again.
Sean_N, Oct 2025
Fantastic experience. It was excellent and worth the money. They picked us up at a nearby hotel and dropped us off, so it was quick and efficient. The horses and staff were all excellent. Would do this again if we come back to Vegas for sure. Worth it to get out of the concrete jungle and enjoy nature. Fabolous!
Rachel_M, Sept 2025
